Hacker hijacked Microsoft’s X: “500,000 likes and we bring Clippy back,” all to pump a crypto token

Microsoft's official account on X experienced a security breach, leading to unauthorized posts promoting a Clippy-themed cryptocurrency token. The company confirmed the breach, removed the misleading content, and is investigating the incident. During the hijack, the account followed a Clippy-themed profile and engaged with its posts, which included a call for likes to "bring Clippy back." Microsoft stated that the posts did not originate from them and emphasized that they do not support any cryptocurrency linked to Clippy. The Clippy-themed account has since been suspended, and Microsoft plans to take legal action against the token and related materials. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about Microsoft's internal security measures, especially given a previous similar breach involving the Microsoft India account in 2024.

Google has announced enhancements to Android Auto, particularly for media applications. A key feature allows users to control media playback from any app, including YouTube, but does not enable browsing app content directly.

Users will soon be able to swipe between active media sessions from the dashboard widget, improving multitasking while driving. Improvements have been made to the autoplay function, ensuring that media apps not recently used will not be selected for autoplay, and Android Auto will recognize user behavior patterns regarding autoplay.

Mike Tomlin’s 12-year-long Minecraft hobby is being questioned: “You don’t see Andy Reid doing that”

Mike Tomlin has spent 12 years building a detailed virtual city in Minecraft, initially as a way to bond with his children. His city features hotels, apartments, sports venues, and an aquarium, serving as a therapeutic escape from coaching pressures. Tomlin's project developed between 2014 and 2025, coinciding with the Steelers' struggles in the NFL Playoffs despite having talented rosters. Criticism arose from fans and former player Le'Veon Bell, who questioned Tomlin's dedication to the team. The city includes a large body of water, a boutique hotel with an executive spa, glass ceilings for natural light, an aquarium-themed apartment high-rise, a CVS, and various sports facilities. Despite his commitment to this project, Tomlin led the Steelers to a Super Bowl victory in 2009 and has maintained competitiveness in his coaching career.

GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1080 Ti now work in Windows XP thanks to a modified driver

An enthusiast known as SupraGSX has introduced an unofficial graphics driver, Forceware 382.69, which supports NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 series graphics cards on the 32-bit Windows XP operating system. This driver was created by reverse porting code from the official NVIDIA 368.81 package and enhanced with artificial intelligence tools. It is available on GitHub and allows for hardware acceleration, recognition of Pascal GPUs, and supports DisplayPort HBR3 and HDMI 2.0 standards. The driver is compatible with desktop models from GeForce GTX 1050 to GTX 1080 Ti and TITAN X, but does not support the GeForce GT 1030 or mobile graphics accelerators due to technical limitations. This development is significant as NVIDIA has not released official drivers for Pascal architecture on Windows XP, which previously only supported the Maxwell-based GeForce 900 series.
